WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Guidehouse, a leading global provider of consulting, digital, and managed services to commercial and public sector clients, is pleased to announce that WashingtonExec has selected John Saad, partner and leader of the firm's Defense & Security Segment, as one of the Top National Security Execs to Watch in 2023.

For this prestigious listing, WashingtonExec identified the leaders who are supporting one of the government's most important missions: to secure and defend the nation's citizens, economy and institutions. The executives highlighted have achieved significant milestones and goals with the support of strong leadership, teams and processes, and they possess the know-how to navigate the complexities of the national security landscape.

Saad brings over 25 years of consulting and executive experience and a profound understanding of the defense and national security landscape. His team of over 2,000 consultants tackles mission and operational challenges across departments like Defense, Justice, Homeland Security and State, as well as the FBI, the intelligence community, and commercial aerospace and defense companies.

"John's commitment to the mission of our clients across the entire national security spectrum permeates everything we do in this business," said Scott McIntyre, Chief Executive Officer at Guidehouse. "The team's observable teamwork, creativity, operational excellence, and commitment to our clients' success stems from his leadership and passion."

Guidehouse's Defense and Security segment has quickly scaled over the past year under Saad's leadership, maximizing investments toward client missions. His teams have secured numerous, substantial contracts from clients, encompassing all facets of mission transformation: financial, program and workforce transformation. Using new contract vehicles and digital capabilities, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, Saad and his team maintain a sharp focus on people, organizational change and customer experience.

"We look for people who are fired up and excited about the mission, and that defines me," Saad said. "It's exciting to see what can happen when we bring the right people together, both from the consultant side and the government side, to solve really challenging problems and to combat the ever-evolving threat landscape."
